Pilot project 2 – Digital twin with AI for sustainable and efficient energy management
CHALLENGE! The objective is to construct a digital twin integrated with artificial intelligence that facilitates sustainable and efficient energy management by bridging the gap between energy producers and consumers.
HOW? The proposed approach involves linking a simulation model with the actual physical world and leveraging AI to enable real-time energy management.
WHY? The primary motivation behind this endeavor is to expedite and enhance the decision-making process when it comes to managing energy resources.
FINAL RESULT→ The desired outcome is the development and implementation of a functional digital twin equipped with advanced artificial intelligence capabilities to effectively manage energy consumption in the physical world.
GOALS FOR INNO2MARE PROJECT: The INNO2MARE project aims to leverage digital twin technology, energy management, and artificial intelligence to promote innovation and sustainable development in the maritime industry. The project seeks to develop and implement digital twin solutions that can facilitate efficient and safe energy management in maritime operations, utilizing AI to optimize energy consumption and reduce carbon emissions. Additionally, the project aims to foster collaboration between stakeholders in the maritime industry to drive the development of new technologies and processes that can enhance the performance and sustainability of maritime operations. By achieving these goals, the INNO2MARE project will enable the maritime industry to meet the challenges of the future while promoting innovation and sustainability.

Progress Report on Pilot Project 2
Since the launch of Pilot Project 2, we’ve completed an in-depth review of the current landscape in maritime energy management. This included a detailed analysis of existing solutions and an evaluation of ongoing challenges in the field. These efforts have provided a solid foundation for addressing key research gaps and advancing our work on energy optimization in maritime facilities.
The design phase of the use case has officially started, with the decision to develop it at ISKRA d.o.o. in Kranj. While the use case is still under construction, the boundary conditions have been carefully defined to ensure it represents realistic energy management scenarios. The final deployment of the digital twin will take place at ISKRA’s shipyard in Šibenik, where it will be tested in a real-world maritime environment.
As part of the project’s initiation, several workshops have been conducted, allowing us to identify key input parameters, criteria, and variables. We’ve also outlined the different energy producers, consumers, and the types of energy being used within the system. These workshops have helped set the groundwork for the ongoing development of the digital twin solution.
